Gyða J. • April 19, 2011Þrífið upp eftir hundinn ykkar :)

Michael W. • August 7, 2014This is a neat man made hill by the harbour. The path is a little skinny, so watch out for people coming the other way! You can also walk out to the little yellow lighthouse just a little ways further

Marie • July 1, 2018Stumbled upon this awesome sculpture garden right near Hallgrimskerkja. Pretty intense and dark works. Definitely worth checking out!

Mike V. • September 4, 2018There's a ladder over an electric fence to go look at a lake. It's beautiful, but so is everything else and you can see it from the road. Most people spend about ten minutes here.

J W. • October 17, 2019Loved this tour. Well explained, professional, small groups, and you get the distinct feeling they respect their horses and truly care for them. Laidback, informative, amazing

Jóhann Ævar • July 19, 2012Iceland's most obscure landmark, the graffiti Flatus Lifir (Flatus lives) has been on this wall in some form or another since 1991, with a myriad of urban legends sprouting to explain its origins.

Risiana L. • February 7, 2015Fantastic horse riding organisation! Super friendly and well experienced staff! A "must do" when in Reykjavík!

Sami S. • April 6, 2013Really great hike to do close to Reykjavik. You can take a bus here or if you've rented a car it's an easy 30 min drive there. It's definitely a good workout and gets steep towards the end. Good views

Dóttir S. • April 17, 2013Tolinmædi virkar best :)
